VNUE PROVIDES UPDATE ON ICON METAVERSE PROJECT

“Earth Arena,” one of multiple virtual arenas, at 90% completion

NEW YORK, March 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Today VNUE, Inc. (OTC: VNUE) is reporting that its ICON metaverse entertainment venue project – known as the “VNUE Icon Project” a.k.a. “VIP,” is getting closer to launch date, as the one of multiple planned virtual festival Arenas stands at approximately 90% completion.

As previously reported, VNUE is working with South American Premiere Roblox developer Kokku to build the first ever persistent multi-stage music & entertainment festival experience which will initially be deployed on Roblox’s platform, with 50+ Million active daily users worldwide. Kokku is the developer best known for its work on AAA games such as Guerrilla’s Horizon franchise, Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War, and Premium Roblox Experiences including Samsung’s Space Tycoon and Netflix’ Stranger Things: Starcourt Mall.

Zach Bair, CEO of VNUE, said, “The ICON project is coming along nicely and as expected. Key components, such as our ‘Earth Arena’ – one of multiple virtual arenas – are at 95% completion; Earth Mini Games elements and other features are through their incremental build process and are awaiting our approvals. I’m very satisfied with the pace at which production is being accomplished, and I can’t wait for this exciting technology to be rolled out.”

The VNUE Fest Entertainment space will operate continuously, presenting both free and ticketed concerts, music launches, listening parties and more each day across multiple themed and customizable stages and festival venues. Fans will experience interactive games, missions, eMerch, NFTs, as well as parental controls for Roblox’s young audience.

In offering every facet of a true metaverse event production house, VNUE will deliver live and recorded performances within multi-dimensional, experiential virtual worlds, and will track musical performances with VNUE’s Soundstr MDM platform, to ensure rights holders are properly compensated.

The Roblox festival and multi-stage virtual experience will offer a permanent, persistent festival environment with customizable stages for entertainers to take up virtual residencies, while VNUE and our VIP program will power independently commissioned events that utilize repeatable, scalable, and highly creative teams and processes. 

Interested artists, labels, managers, agents or others should reach out to VNUE via our website.
